I moved down to socal to take a job in Long Beach about a year ago. Where I came from (Reno, NV), I used my Tacoma's 4x4 a lot! However, I haven't really found any place close by that I can take my truck to down here.

I have factory wheels/tires with billy 5100's in the front set to 1.75. I really want to get my truck dirty! Any recommendations on where I can go that isn't too far from Long Beach?

Are there any cool spots that I go to that will let me drive on the beach?

I have tried searching and searching but I think the only beach you can drive on now (publicly) is Pismo/Oceano dunes. I think you can drive on the beach at camp penalton (i think thats how its spelled) but im sure you have to be military for that.

Where abouts in LB do you live?? I work out there like 2-3 times a week... and if you ever want to make the drive out to cleghorn let me know i dont live too far and have done it plenty of times if you wanna go with someone who knows the roads (decently at least)...
